Running Towards The Broken

Running Towards the Broken

A Memoir by Liam Dodds

At seventeen, he joined the British Army searching for purpose. What he found was war, chaos, brotherhood-and a path that would eventually lead to saving lives on the streets of Britain.

In Running Towards the Broken, a raw and honest memoir, a former frontline soldier and ambulance technician takes readers on a gripping journey through two of the world's most demanding professions. From the shattered buildings of Kabul to the poppy fields of Helmand, from the gilded gates of Buckingham Palace to the blue-lit chaos of UK paramedic callouts, this is a story of resilience, dark humour, and the human cost of service.

With unflinching honesty and flashes of levity, the author recounts the harrowing weight of combat, the disorientation of coming home, and the often unseen trauma carried into civilian life. Along the way, he finds purpose again-this time not with a rifle, but with a defibrillator and a duty to care.

Running Towards the Broken is more than a war memoir. It is a story of survival, identity, and the quiet heroism of those who run not from danger-but toward it.
